Chiefs Rumor: Chiefs trying to trade DJ and DaJuan Morgan possibly Albert - Page 6

The NFL trade deadline is Tuesday at 4 PM Eastern time and the rumors are going to be swirling for the next 48 hour or so.
This report come from Mike Lombardi at the National Football Post, who has consistently delivered solid insider info from Arrowhead. He was very close on early reports about Matt Cassel's contract.

I do want to stress that this is a rumor. From Lombardi:
The Chiefs are trying to move former 2005 first-round linebacker Derrick Johnson and 2008 third-round safety DeJuan Morgan.
Todd Haley and Co. are making no secret about their unhappiness with the players they inherited from the previous regime.
I’m hearing they don’t like anyone, including Branden Albert, who they feel is not a left tackle.

Strong words from Lombardi as we near the trade deadline. I do believe Lombardi is correct in his comments about the Kansas City Chiefs and their intentions for those players. At least in the sense that there are a lot of Chiefs players who could possibly be moved for the right price. Jay Glazer said earlier today that the Chiefs are open to trading any player except for Matt Cassel.

Back in August, we caught wind of a rumor that Scott Pioli offered the Detroit Lions DaJuan Morgan for a 4th round pick. The Lions didn't bite, possibly giving us a glimpse into what Morgan may be worth on the open market.

The question is - Will any other team bite on either DJ, DaJuan Morgan or Branden Albert?

I know Mike Brown sucks & deserves every bit of crap he gets around here. But if he didn't make that tackle, Washington gets a big TD. I hate the way he plays just as much as the next guy, I'm just sayin'....

It will interesting to see how Belcher develops.

I'm a big fan of Mays, but I agree. I noticed that Cooley was open quite a few times over the middle, especially early in the game, but wasn't sure if that was Mays' assignment...

I hate it when new regimes come in and clean house, even with good players. More often than not you see those players leave and become solid performers elsewhere. The idea that players not brought in by the current regime are not as good is bullshit. I hate this cleaning house crap. How much turnover have we had in recent years? Quite a bit. It was needed but it's time to form a foundation and build on it, not continually getting rid of all of our players.

LOL
That was blatant

I'm glad Haley feels the same way I feel about Albert... he is not an NFL-caliber left tackle.

This. If there is one thing we cannot afford to give up at this point, it is OL of any quality. Move DJ or Morgan. I don't care. But we should be acquiring OL, not considering dealing them. If only we had taken a LT at #3, instead of Jackson, we might be looking good.

KC's trying to develop Albert, and next year will see a more polished product. Remember everyone is given 3 years to show their stuff, and if the don't have the ability they should be tossed.

Our line looked better with Wade Smith on the field then it has with Albert. Hopefully he he's just tired from the weight loss and long hard TC and he will bounce back with some rest.

If the Chiefs are in a position to draft a franchise caliber left tackle near the top of the draft they can't pass that up in the hopes that Albert will come around.

And your reason for having your head up Albert's fat ass is??

kcchiefsus · 10-18-2009, 11:20 PM

You know it used to be pretty much accepted as fact that it takes a tackle upwards of 3 seasons to fully develop. I think anybody giving up on Albert is crazy. Haley said himself that Albert is having to relearn some things at his lighter weight because he can no longer rely on his size to just wall off defenders. He has to use proper technique and footwork whereas before he was able to cheat a little. This is still only his second season ever playing left tackle.

Well we don't have to worry about that this year since there isn't a franchise caliber LT in this years draft.

Jake Long, Marcus McNeill and Ryan Clady would disagree with your three year timeframe for left tackles to show their potential.

Tony Sparano had admitted to giving Long help much of last year, and so far, much of this year.

Charger fans will tell you that McNeill is not the dominant force he once was.

Hell, even Joe Thomas has regressed.

Clady is the exception, not the rule.
